Treat stress, anxiety, and depression with Chinese acupuncture

Treating childhood constipation

Thu, Mar 03, 2011

Constipation is a common health issue among infants and children. Nutritional therapist Heather Leeson gives her view on the condition.

Constipation in children is a relatively common problem which we see frequently in the clinic. It can range from mild or episodic constipation to severe constipation with no bowel movement for several days or even weeks. Often accompanied by wind, bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, and faecal incontinence, it can cause significant discomfort and sometimes embarrassment for the child. It can be distressing both for the parents and the child, and if left go too long can cause further problems.

Humanity Dick’s last battle

Thu, Feb 24, 2011

Humanity Dick Martin’s daughter, Harriet Letitia, wasn’t the only one to write about her father’s victory at the notorious Galway election of 1826. It was such a blatant hijack of votes, a total fraud, and swindle, that it outraged the investigating committee from the House of Commons some months later. But Martin was desperate. Despite his enormous estates, consisting of 196,540 acres, virtually the entire territory of Connemara stretching westwards from Galway, he was deeply in debt. He was a useless landlord in the sense that his collection of rents was haphazard and irregular. He had a generous heart. He did not press his tenants for money.
